History Is Wrong

I found this book very interesting. It questions facts written in the Holly Book, giving a totally different interpretation of the Scriptures.The book does not put in doubt the existence of God, but investigates the possibility of the Earth been visited by ETs.

I didn't finish this book. I was very disappointed with the content. Von Daniken spends his time presenting alibis for charges lodged against him rather than presenting new information. I can't recommend spending money on this book.

The first few pages kind of caught my curiosity so I bought the Kindle version of this story. But reading a little further it becomes obvious that the writer is just grasping at straws and the whole premise is so full of nonsense that it's embarrassing to admit I bought the book in the first place.

An awful waste of money.

I like von Daniken and thouroughly enjoyed his earliest books but this one just doesn't cut it. He rambles on and never gives the reader enough information about anything that he is talking about. I don't really get some of the connections that he is making this time. He avows that he doesn't believe, or never did state, that the Nazca lines are not a landing strip but he really never goes into any detailed theory that he might have, except that maybe they point to the location of the metal book. He seems too intent on denying certain accusations but doesn't elaborate on his thoughts. Most of it is not new. I am certain he could have done much better and it makes me wonder why he wrote this book in the first place. It could have been so good!

Because I had found CHARIOTS OF THE GODS quite thought-provoking, I was eagerly looking forward to reading HISTORY IS WRONG. Boy, was I ever duped into thinking that this book would reveal some new information that might explain a possible Earth/alien connection.
WRONG!! Yes,some new things were mentioned i.e. the undecipherable cave tablets, passages from the Book of Mormon, etc. but.... Daniken used almost the entire book as a vehicle to "attempt" to redeem some of his statements from previous writings for which he was called to "account" and even those ramblings weren't very convincing. I was SO disappointed that I threw the book into the trash, something I have never done before. WHAT a waste of good money , and it has certainly lowered my opinion of Mr. Daniken.

This book is excellent reading for people with an open mine.
My wife and I have read almost all of Erich VonDaniken's books but we do so with great perceptive and an open mine.
History is not always as one person sees it.

There is little worth reading in this book. Mostly the author defends himself from accusations made but offers little new information of HISTORICAL significance. My view is don't waste your money buying this book or waste your time reading it.

Von Daniken may well be right about his hypotheses on ancient airports or spaceports for ancient aliens.

But this book and his hypotheses hide the greatest and deepest truths. The aliens don’t just visit—they are here and in charge, but quarantined here. The “cast down” from the bible indicates that the more powerful, more advanced Quarantiners cast down the ones who are quarantined here and have pulled the strings on our species since they created us to be their hostages in the Galactic War as only the Anonymous Physicist reveals in his 3 remarkable books.

So those who created us were “cast down” here, and they are in charge on this planet. They are at war with those who cast them down, and are trying to escape—thus all the advanced weaponry etc, not actually controlled by our species. This book and all of Von Daniken’s books hide the “Quarantine” and Quarantine-Escape Events.

All this is detailed in the 3 books by the ANONYMOUS PHYSICIST at his ANONYMOUSPHYSICIST dot com website. His main book, in its 2nd or 3rd Ed. is QUARANTINE: Mankind Held Hostage: Deciphering our Past, Present and Precarious Future.

This book is a must read for all who want to know the truth from this physicist, who has paid a terrible price for revealing things. He is just about the only conspiracy, or alternative history, expert who is NOT a govt agent or secret society member!

Anonymous physicist proves the Quarantine, and what level it is at, and the galactic war fought here and throughout our solar system.

As AP says, we are held hostage. But he has revealed other reasons for our creation...

The Quarantine: Mankind Held Hostage book, 2015 Ed. also reveals the true meaning of many events from ancient history to WWII to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, and also ways to combat the PTB legally.

Please for your sake and his, get these collector’s items books from him by contacting that site. You can even ask for autographed copies. [Anything online is totally illegal and also totally altered.]

Anonymous physicist deserves the highest awards for his revealing 3 books. They are great reads too. His style is simple and elegant and always with rigor and no BS.

The 3 books by the Anonymous Physicist are the most prized in my book collection. It gives one’s life great meaning to finally find out what our existence and everything else is really all about. In the huge sea of disinformation, and all the rest, only the anonymous physicist’s 3 books stand out as the truth.

I have read this author since Chariots of the Gods and in fact still have my copy that I bought as a child. He has opened my eyes to the mysteries of our planet since the beginning. Once again he brings to light ancient books and writings and says look at these and learn to think for yourself and not just follow mainstream thinking. This is why I like the authors books. The only thing that deflects from the book (besides a few editorial problems) is the fact that he feels he needs to defend himself against what other people say. Too many pages are dedicated to this. If the author feels he must do this then use a page a move on. I want to read about the mysteries not about closed minded, greedy people. when I re-read this book again someday I will just skip that part because I do feel this book adds value to the mysteries of our world.

History is wrong
By Eric Von Daniken.
I'll start by telling you I'm a believer; I read Chariots of the Gods in the early eighties and have been hooked since.
History is wrong starts with a new premise, The Voynich maniscript, then looses this and moves into the old stories. The book tells nothing new, it re-hashes old, admittedly true, arguments and rants about them and how unprofessional journalists blackened the Daniken name.
I'm a believer, as I've said, but this book was poor and a simple attempt to cream money of us followers.
Not recommended.

I tried this book through the store's Kindle Unlimited problem. It definitely looked like something I wouldn't have tried otherwise, but sounded interesting. Within a few pages I was rolling my eyes, and before long I just had to put it down. The author makes all kinds of weird claims with little or no evidence to support them, and all the while jumping from tangent to tangent so often that the central narrative is lost in the mess. The proofreading is lacking as well. Just pass this one on by.

I'd say the theories therein are a fresh perspective for me, as I have never read Daniken before. Until I got halfway through it. It begins well enough, then drags you through critics, and "he said" followed by "but I really said" and it was agonizing to say the least. The book then continues on with very loose connections and has no fluidity at all. I gave it 2 stars because it got me thinking a little but all in all, this was poorly written and I would NOT recommend this to anyone. Highly disappointed.

Yet more nonsense from the reigning king of nonsense. The book reads like your crazy uncle going off on a tangent about how people just 'don't understand him' interspersed with more of the reasons people who have don actual research find his books to be humorous. If you want to rea it, get it from the library or borrow a copy from a gullible friend, don't put any more money into Erich's pockets.

He's an entertaining writer with a warm style. I enjoyed the writing much more than the content. Too far out to be considered as a rational explanation. The author grasps wildly at details extremely open to various interpretation.

I found this book very interesting. It questions facts written in the Holly Book, giving a totally different interpretation of the Scriptures.The book does not put in doubt the existence of God, but investigates the possibility of the Earth been visited by ETs.

Von Daniken draws a loose and hypothetical connection between the Voynich manuscript and the Book of Enoch. Unfortunately, the author seems too weary to follow through on the beginnings of an interesting theory and instead switches gears to other subjects. This happens frequently throughout the book. Much of its volume is a whiny rant about how von Daniken has been wronged by the press and that how his ideas don't receive the scientific praise that he believes they are due. Ironically, he takes the same position as his religiously-minded opponents in providing little actual evidence of his theories and instead implicitly asks the user to take what he's saying more or less on "faith."

There's no doubt that something interesting and unusual is going on in Nazca. The Voynich Manuscript also provides interesting food for thought. However, this book fails to provide enough evidence or fresh analysis to do anything but frustrate readers that are truly interested in learning more about alternative explanations for the origins of mankind.

This book is full of typographical and grammatical errors. The editor did a sloppy job and the book is poorly titled, as von Daniken hardly comes close to making the point it declares.

Erich von Daniken has been writing about one subject for around 30 years and he's really good at what he does. This book is no exception. Why would an 'all-powerful' god need to have humans make ships to sail to safety. Couldn't he just wave his hand and deposit them wherever he wanted? As von Daniken points out, beings with advanced technology would be viewed as gods and if enough time goes by without these 'gods', we might forget that they were physical beings just like us (or at least similar enough to breed with us) and give them the status of an all-mighty god. Just like young children bragging about the super-human traits of their parents, so we too might have embellished the might of our parent/gods, even to the extent of having school yard fights about who's god is better(religion).

Von Daniken includes the story of the Mormons and their flight to safety to the American continent where they buried their metal plates containing the history of mankind from the age of Adam and Eve. Just like the Bible, where God gives instruction to Noah to build a boat that is water-tight, so too does Ether in the book of Mormon get instructions on his boat, and like Noah, says that he doesn't know how to build such a boat.

In the Epic of Gilgamesh we have a flood story and a God giving instruction on how to build a water-tight boat for the upcoming flood. Are these all the same stories? Or is there more than one god(extra-terrestrial) wanting to save their particular group of humans?

Then there's Montezuma's speech (pg 105) where he says, "Both you and I know that our forefathers did not come from this land where we live. They came to this place, led by a great prince from far hence.

Von Daniken has been making his case for extra-terrestrial gods/parents for a long time. This books includes photos from Father Carlos Crespi, a monk who did missionary work among the indigenous people of Ecuador. The people trusted him enough to bring out their treasures of gilded totems showing strange people and beasts on them. Photos of the Voynich manuscript showing a language we have yet to interpret along with drawings of unidentifiable plants and highly elaborate astronomical charts.

Wonderful book, though he does spend too much time debunking his critics, which is basically preaching to the choir who buy his books.

I've been reading Erich von Daniken's books since I was a child so I'm predisposed to like his work. I really think that the title of the book is misleading, and I understand that it might have been chosen by the publisher rather than the author.

There are two subjects of this book, both interesting and frustrating. The larger part of the book was about how Daniken has been maligned by the press. As a media critic, he raises some important points about the lack of research that often goes into news articles and how, in the age of the Internet, mistakes and falsehoods get archived for later use and embellishment by reporters or critics too lazy to find the truth of the story for themselves. It must be very frustrating to be attacked for things you never did or said, or to have things you did do or say twisted into something completely different.

He also points out the limitations of the kind of specialization common in science and academia. What might seem unremarkable to an archaeologist with no imagination can become quite remarkable if you start looking at magnetic readings and soil content. It also might not be a good idea to leave the study of ancient texts in the province of theologians when other sciences are more relevant to the contents.

The main theory he advances is interesting, and he makes it seem cohesive, though it is quite a stretch from the Book of Enoch to the Book of Mormon. I neither agree nor disagree, but would love to see the possibility explored by the right people. Most importantly, if the metal "books" in Ecuador exist, I don't understand why they aren't brought out for all to see and study.

I'm glad I read the book, but it leaves me frustrated - I don't understand why technologically modern humans are not more aggressive in making these "mysteries" more accessible and encouraging more study. That we have sources of untapped information in this day and age is pathetic.
